I think we should pick out three (or pick any number) basic ideas, and base a theme on each one. Each theme-idea should be targeted at a specific audience. Of the top of my head, base ideas could be: I) Stylish, glossy. II) Flat, simple, fast. III) Flashy, colorful, cartoonish (gartoon iconset anyone :D) I suggest these "Minimum Theme Requirements": - GTK theme (GT) - Metacity theme (MT) - Icon theme (IT) - GT must go well with Firefox - IT must contain Evolution stock icons - Generally have an Ubuntu feel to it Optional theme properties: - Other application stock icons. Fx. Gaim emoticons. - A suggested wallpaper - Various splashes The reason why I include the last Evo point is that the theme should really change the entire desktop. A theme should really change the feel of the *entire* desktop. Half-***ed themes are only so much fun.
